A traveller once put up for the night
With q simple minded old couple, in a
ldnely farmhouse. As he rode up to
tie door he heard the old lady say, in a
tone OF deep conviction: ''Therel L
knowed somebody'd come before night,
for / dropped my work on the floor this
morning and 1t stuck straight up. Then
1 dropped the dish-cIoth at noon
another lure sign Of company
In entering the house the visitor care
lessly struck his foot against the step
and came near falling.
"Ahi" said the old lady, quickly,
(which toe did you stub. the right or
the left?"
1.-THE right" was the reply.
THAT'S good; it's q lure sign you're
going where you're wanted. Pa, shoe
that rooster off the fence. II he crows
there 1t Will rain before morning.
A little boy suddenly ran into the
room, crying out: 20 grandma, lookl
Here's . copper i found 1t on the
road"
I'm not a bit surprised. Don't you
remember, Tommy, that you dreamed
OF finding a nest of hens eggs last
night? / told you then that you'd find
some money before a week."
a young woman was washing on a
porch at the back OF a house and the
old lady suddenly cried out:
"There, there, Susan; If you haven't
splashed soap suds all " the front of
your dressi And IL you don't get a
drunken husband for 1t, Pm wonder
fully mistaken; I've known this sign to
come true orton aud often. But you

ing all the clothes on the line wrong

So Susan did, as the traveller noticed
TO his great amusement.

on THE
'Round.the- World Stevens and
Champion Howell Say Of the Sport.

The popularity of cycling is grow
ing.
Thomas Stevens, who has Just been
around the globe on q wheel says that
the best roads in the world are found
In British India. The Grand Trunk
road is 1000 miles, an unbroken high
way of marvellous perfection, from
Pershawar on the Afghan frontier to
Calcutta. 1t is made OF smooth. hard,
natural concrete, beds OF which lie
along the line.
How such roads would be apprecia-
ted by the enthusiastic 'cyclers Of this
countryI
The wonderful achievement Of Mr..
Stevens, in the face Of myriad dangers,
entities him to all his honors.
The fast riding champion OF the
world, however, is Richard Howell, Of
Leicester, England. He Is a splen-
iidly made fellow, between 25 and 30
years of age, six feet high, ard weigh
ing. in training, about 160 pounds.
He commenced riding in 1879 and In
1881, at Belgravia grounds, Leicester,
he won the one-mile championship Of
the world, beating all the best men Of
the day.
From that time his career has been
one OF almost unbroken successes. He
came to the United States in 1884 and
1885, and at the great Springfield tour
lament in 1885, won seven out Of eight
races.
In the Cycling Ne,Cs eng Octo-
Der LIST, 1887, Is the following inter-
view with him.
"What are your best performances?"
"Thls year l did u full mile on the
track at Coventry in 2 minutes. IS Sec

and may be a walk and early to bed.
"But there is one idea of mine which
I have found invaluable. If / have

Bicycling is glorious sport, but 1t has
Its physical Ill effects which, however,
can be easily overcome by the method
used by Champion Howell.

A novel way of disposing of an old
love affair is that adopted a few months
since by one Of the brightest and pretti-
est of London young ladies. The young
lady wears as many hearts dangling
from her belt as an Indian brave wears
scalps. Wishing to announce the break
ing Of her engagement to a young army
officer, now stationed abroad, she issued
invitations for a luncheon to a few of
her most intimate friends. The centre
piece of the prettlly spread table was
formed of a mass of blossoms, in the midst
of which, heavily draped with Grape,
rested the officers picture.

land that can be grown. About four
pounds of green grass make one of hay.
Orchard grass produces a pound of hay
TO less than three Of grass. Alsike
clover yields less than the red variety,
but the proportion Of grass to hay is
the same. While it is advisable to
secure as large yield as possible, it is

During 1882 Messrs E and Fl. Bee
Querel continued previous researches by
recording twice daily the temperature
Of a naked and a turfed soil at differ
ent depths. They found the extremes
of heat and cold to be greater in the
naked soil than In the one covered with
turf. At a depth of two inches the
turfed soil was the warmer at 6 a. M;
at 3 p. M, the naked soil was the
warmer during the summer and the
colder during the winter. At greater
depths the differences we're less marked,
and on the average the turfed soil was
from one-tenth to seven-tenths of a
degree warmer than the naked one.

Although the story of Perseus and
Andromeda Is, of course, well known
to nearly all readers, yet on account of
the great beauty and brilliancy of the
group Of consultations that perpetuate
the memory of it among the stars, it is
worth recalling here. 1t will be re-
membered that, as Perseus was return
ing through the air from his conquest
of the Gorgon Medusa, he saw the
beautiful Andromeda chained to a rock
on the sea coast, waiting to be devoured
by q sea monster. The poor girls only
offence was that her mother, Cassiopeia,
had boosted for her that she was fairer
than the s~ea-beauty, Atergatis, and for
this Neptune had decreed that all the
land of the Philippians should be drown
ed and destroyed unless Andromeda was
delivered up as q sacrifice to the dread
full sea-monster. When Perseus, dropp-
ing down to learn why this maiden was
chained to the rock, heard from An
dromeda's lips the story of her woes he
laughed with joy. Here was an ad-
venture Just to his liking, and, besides,
unlike his previous adventures, 1t i'll
volved the fate of a beautiful woman
with whom he was already in love.
Could he save herP Well wouldn't her
The sea monster might frighten a king
dom full of Ethiops, but it could not
shake the nerves of a hero from Greece.
He whispered words of encouragement
to Andromeda, who could scarce be-
lieve the good news that a champion
had come to defend her after all her
friends and royal relations had deserted
H. ATa,tI,a, aA,r1l olNA Goal p.Int nAn-
fidence in her young champions powers
when suddenly her Mortified gaze met
the awful monster of the deep advanc-
ing to his feast! But Perseus. with a
warning to Andromeda not to look at
what he was to do, sprang with his
winged sandals up into the air. And
then, as Charles Kingsley has S beau.
tifully told the story
son came the great sea monster,
coasting along like q huge black galley,
lazily breasting the ripple, and stopp-
ing at times by creek or headland to
watch for the laughter of girls mt their
bleaching, OF cattle paving on the sand
hills or boys bathing on the beach. His
great sides were fringed with clustering
shells and sea-weeds, and the water
gurgled in and out of his wide jaws as
he rolled along, dripping and glistening
in the beams of the morning sun. AT
last he saw Andromeda, and shot for
ward to take his prey, while the a
foamed white behind him, and before
him the fish fled, leaping.
"Then down from the height of the
air fell Perseus like a shooting-star-
down to the crest of the waves, while
Andromeda hid her face as he shouted.
And then there was silence for a while.
SAT last she looked up trembling,
and saw Perseus springing toward her;

FARM NOTES,

The ULEANDER.-The oleander il
a fayorite in and outdoor plant-prized
FOR its flowers. usually Of red or rose
color. The shrub belongs to the dog
bane family and is poisonous. A
guinea-pig-keeping boy gave to his pets
leaves and twigs cut from the oleander
plant. The pigs died in convulsions,
also, in great agony, apparently. We
can testify to the fact. Nevertheless,
the oleander flower is beautiful, and
worth the culture bestowed upon il.
There are many varieties-double dark.
purp,e, double vermillion, cherry Grim.
son, white, pale yellow and pale sui
phur, as to color of flowers. The
oleander Is found in the Levant and in
some parts of Palestine. In Florida
1t grows in hedges and groves, and
attains the height of twenty-five to
thirty feet. Galveston is called the
"Oleander City," on account or the
abundant growth Of the oleander.
When the plant has grown to the
height of eight or ten inches it should
be cut back to the second or third joint,
and these should be cut back after they
have attained sufficient growth. The
bush will be thick In foliage, and flower
abundantly. The plant requires much
moisture. Slips placed in a bottle of
salt water and kept in a sunny window,
will put forth roots, and be ready soon
for the pot.

WIsTERIA.-Among the early and
beautiful climbing plants. wisteria,
perhaps, stands first. 1t covers bare
walls, holes in fences, and runs any
where it is led. AS a lawn ornament
1T has no equal, as it will assume any
form, and cover with flowers and
foliage. BY careful training and clip
ping. on a frame work of the desired
shape, wIsteria has grown into the
form OF a horse, wheel, harp, cross.
and even the statue Of a man. Wis
terra serves a double purpose when it
is trained to grow into the shape of a
understanding tree. Then there is or
nament and shade. Systematic prun-
ing must be employed to gain a full
crop OF flowers. Like everything else
upon the earth from which anything Is
expected, the wisteria must have care
and timely nurture.

An extensive trade In secondhand
building material, has been carried on
uninterruptedly for fifty years, and is
largely supported by builders and
joiners. The stone and brick Of an
old building is used in the construction
of a new one, the lime whitened bricks
making the inside of the outer walls
and the partitions, and the stone going
into the foundations. But 1t is not
generally known that the inside wood
work is used again, frequently without
radical alteration. Many builders pre-
fer this old timber because it is
thoroughly seasoned. The richer woods
which are admired for their color
acquire mellower tones by age and be-
come more valuable as the years pass.
Furniture of mahogany and rosewood
that has outlived several generations
is much handsomer than that made
from new wood. But it has added
value as mere material. An article
made from the old wood will retain its
integrity in all joints; Its shrinkage days
are over. For the same reason the
timbering. ~wainscoating and flooring Of
old buildings have an added value,
although the selling price Is less than
that of new material.
